GARMENT-STAN D.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 445,208, dated January 27, 1891.

Application filed May 3l, 1890. Serial No. 353,823. (No model.)

Be it known that I, WILLIAM YOGLER, of Somerville, county of Middlesex, State of Massachusetts, have invented au Improvement in Garment-Stands, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like letters and figures on the drawings representing like parts.

This invention has for its object the production oi' a stand to support and stretch pantaloons. I also prefer to provide the standard with an extension or top having a coatsupport.

Figure l in elevation representsa garmentstand embodying' my invention; Fig. 2, a section below the line at; Fig. 3, a section below the line x', and Fig. 4 shows a modified form of leg-holder.

The standard d has feet d to stand on the floor. The feet are composed of rods pivoted at 2 to ears of a collar b, secured to the lower end of the standard, the outer ends of the feet having jointed to them at 3 links b', in turn jointed at 4f to ears of a collar or runner b2, made adjustable on the said standard, so that by moving the collar h2 toward the collar l) the legs may be folded, as when it is desired to paci; the stand. The standard dat or near its upper end is screwthreaded, as at 6, to receive upon it a shouldered nut cx, on which is loosely mounted the two-part cross-bar c of the two-part clamp c c', the bar c receiving through it loosely the screw-studs c2, on which are screwed the thumb-nuts c3, when it is desired to clamp the waistband of the pauta loons I in the clamp. The shouldered nut has a thumb-piece 10, by which it may berotated to Inove the clamp longitudinally on the standard. Below the clamp c c the standard has mounted on it a bottom bar d, which may be held in place by a set-screw d', the said bar being passed through a hole or slot in a collar d2, which may be held in place when desired by a set-screwd3- The bar d has, as shown, two adjustable collars or arms e c, which are jointed to blocks or leg-holders e', adapted to enter the pantaloon-legs, the said blocks, as shown, being adjustable as to their diameter by right and left threaded screws 12, the blocks being provided at their peripheries with pins or projections to enter the pantaloons. lVhen the waistband is clamped and the blocks engaged with the lower ends of the legs of'the pantaloons, the shouldered nut may be turned, thusV moving the clamp longitudinally to stretch the pantaloons.

The top of the nut cx has screwed into itan extension f, on which is mounted or supported a coat-holder y, and at its top the eXten- Vsion is shown as provided with a ball h for a hat.

A stand of the kind described will hold a suit of gentlemens clothes and keep them in proper shape.

I do not desire to limit my invention to the exact form or construction of the feet.

In the modification, Fig. 4, the two parts 22 23 of the leg-holder are attached to a threaded stem 24, and are adjustable thereon, the screw 24 being equivalent to the screw l2.

I claim- 1. A holding-stand for gentlemens clothing, it being composed of a screw-threaded standard having feet, ashouldered nut rotatable on the threaded part of th'e said standard, a two-part clamp-bar mounted loosely on the said nut, a bottom bar, and leg-holders to engage and hold the legs of the pautaloons, substantially as described.

2. A holding-stand for gentlemenselothing, it being composed ot a screw-threaded standard having feet, a shouldered nut rotatable on the threaded part of the said standard, a two-part clamp-bar Inounted loosely on the said nut, a bottom bar, and leg-holders to engage and hold the legs of the pantaloons, the rodf, mounted on said shouldered nut, and a coat-support sustained by said rod above the said clamping-bars, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

TILLIAM VOGLER.
